Russian Alleges Cross-Border Attack from Ukraine; Nuclear Plant Resumes Operations

Russia accuses a Ukrainian "sabotage group" of trying to make an incursion into the country, while Ukraine denies any role in the events. Explosions and sporadic gunfire could be heard on May 22 in the Belgorod region, with the local governor saying that fighting had spilled into Russia in the Graivoron district which borders Ukraine. Meanwhile, Ukraine said it had restored external electricity supply to the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant, Europe’s largest nuclear station, after a brief cut-off earlier in the day.
